More Altitude says:

Glad you appreciated folks, thanks for all the lovely comments.

@ N. Mexico We had an awesome trip, saw some beautiful places for sure!

@ S'Murf It's 'winter' down here. During the day the temperature hits into the mid/high 30s (C), but at night it's basically down to freezing- so cold sleeping out on the dunes in the open!

@ barbee Those are some beautiful shots- I'd love to get to White Sands someday too.

@ Sam Gibson I've been wanting to see sand dunes in the Sahara for years- last week was my first time and it blew me away! :o)

Posted 49 months ago. ( permalink )

More Altitude says:

Again, thanks so much guys.

@ ozczecho I think they are my own prints, which I stumbled back across while I was wandering. I don't have this exact shot without prints, though I have a couple of similar variations without. Just for you I'll make sure I post them soon. :o) Watch this space...

Where it Leads?

May be no where ..!
May be a place to my dream..!
May be it leads to her.
May be it leads to my home.....Home ...sweet Home...!
May be it leads to where ever I want to go.

Possibilities are endless, I just have to make a choice and it'll lead me there..!

For me it's a portrait of life.

Great job.
